Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Creosote Demystified
Creosote is the dark or colorless substance produced when a fire is lit. It is a chemical composition of the fuel being burnt that do not fully combust. When wood is burnt in the fire place it produces "smoke" which comprises unburned carbon in a vaporized form. It then drafts up the chimney flue which is much cooler and condenses on the flue surface. The condensed substance on the flue surface is what we refer to as creosote.

Creosote formation occurs in three stages; 1st stage is a fine black dust that is normally referred to as soot. The 2nd stage of creosote appears crunchy and porous. The 3rd and final stage is drippy and sticky with a tar like look and when it hardens if forms a shiny glaze.

All the three types of creosote can be formed within one chimney. Whatever form of creosote that builds up in your chimney is combustible and should regularly be cleaned.

Burning wood, doesn't matter how you will do it, releases the pollutants, primarily in form of the gases or particulate matter. There's no avoiding it but, how such things are actually dealt with in wood burning appliance will differ highly - not just in the kind of stove you select but how you operate this. One of main dangers of the wood burning is excessive build of the creosote in the chimneys and the stove pipes. The creosote is gummy, corrosive, foul smelling, and very combustible substance that, when no precaution is taken, can coat insides on everything it passes. It's formed when the volatile gases to be given off in burning process combine & condense on way out of chimney.

Gases leave burning wood with some smoke. Suppose smoke is been cooled under 250degrees F, gases liquefy, solidify and combine, forming the creosote. Creosote will take many forms, all bad. Being liquid, it will run down insides of the pipes and chimneys, and oozing out of openings. It will form hard layer coating at insides of the pipes & chimney liners. It will form in fluffy substance, which plugs the pipes and then breaks off and finally falls down, and filling low spots at piping. It's a cause of most of the chimney fires & main reason that pipes and chimneys need to get cleaned and checked periodically.

Lots of you are very old enough to know the rush of the people who are buying the wood stoves in oil embargo days. Thus, early 1970s saw explosion of the companies formed for meeting demand. Suppose you remember this, you may as well remember rush of the people abandoning the wood heating and demise of companies making stoves. It was not that the stoves were bad and that people were foolish. What actually happened was, number one, EPA imposed standards on manufacturers they were unwilling or unable to meet and people who bought such stoves realized that running wood stoves is the combination of art and science, a large part of that is dealing with the creosote.
